/*
This is the java implementation of Multiply With Carry (MWC) algorithm to generate a set of random numbers. The main advantages of the MWC method are that it invokes simple computer integer arithmetic and leads to very fast generation of sequences of random numbers with immense periods. The formula it uses is, x(n) = (a*x(n-r) + c(n-1))mod n and c(n) = (a*x(n-r) + c(n-1))/n, where a is any multiplier, m is modulus, c is carry and r is initial number of seeds.
